The Browser daily newsletter [16 March 2013]

Daily Newsletter       16 March 2013  Best of the Moment Why I Have Quit Catholicism Emma Keller | Guardian | 15 March 2013 "It is extraordinarily hard to bring your children up in a community with an entrenched tradition of pedophilia. It is almost impossible, as a mother, to stay connected to a church where thousands of children were abused, and the response of the men in charge, those you have trusted all your life, has been to cover the crimes up" China Is Engineering Genius Babies Aleks Eror | Vice | 15 March 2013 Genetics firm in southern China buys DNA from "2,000 of the world's smartest people", hoping to find the alleles that determine intelligence. Future parents will fertilise many eggs, then choose the most promising. "Even if it only boosts the average kid by five IQ points, that’s a huge difference in the competitiveness of the country" The Future Of The Parachute Regiment Sir Humphrey | Thin Pinstriped Line | 14 March 2013 Dry but expert note on parachutists in war. You don't need a regiment of them any longer. A few will do. "The time has come to move away from the Paratroopers parachuting, and instead refocus them more properly on the role in which they have excelled – namely hugely aggressive light infantry capable of conducting great physical acts of courage" The Little That Hugo Chávez Got Right Daniel Lansberg-Rodriguez | Boston Review | 14 March 2013 Long-time critic assesses late Venezuelan president's record, finds picture more nuanced than he previously allowed. "What cannot be denied, what gives me pause as I consider my own resistance to Chavismo, is that the regime did make a large segment of the population feel empowered and relevant for the first time in recent memory" Is There A Word for "Nerd" In Chinese? Victor Mair | Language Log | 5 March 2013 First we define what "nerd" means in English: "It doesn't just signify a bookish or pedantic person, but rather someone who is socially inept or square, perhaps, but not necessarily, because of a consuming commitment to intellectual or technical pursuits." For which the closest equivalent in Chinese is the assimilated English word "geek" Video of the day: The Maghreb Thought for the day: "If you're the most intelligent person in the room, you're in the wrong room" — James Watson | Homepage | Mobile Apps | RSS Feeds | Twitter | Facebook | Privacy Policy | Contact Us | Having trouble reading this email?

Swarm intelligence: New collective properties of swarm dynamics uncovered Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:59 AM PDT A new study of animal swarms uncovers some new features of their collective behavior when overcrowding sets in. Swarming is the spontaneous organized motion of a large number of individuals. It is observed at all scales, from bacterial colonies, slime molds and groups of insects to shoals of fish, flocks of birds and animal herds. Now physicists have uncovered new collective properties of swarm dynamics.

Smallest vibration sensor in the quantum world Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:59 AM PDT Carbon nanotubes and magnetic molecules are considered building blocks of future nanoelectronic systems. Their electric and mechanical properties play an important role. Researchers have now found a way to combine both components on the atomic level and to build a quantum mechanical system with novel properties.

Mindfulness at school reduces (likelihood of) depression-related symptoms in adolescents Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:59 AM PDT Secondary school students who follow an in-class mindfulness program report reduced indications of depression, anxiety and stress up to six months later. Moreover, these students were less likely to develop pronounced depression-like symptoms.

How can we stlil raed words wehn teh lettres are jmbuled up? Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:46 AM PDT Researchers have taken an important step towards understanding how the human brain 'decodes' letters on a page to read a word. The work will help psychologists unravel the subtle thinking  mechanisms involved in reading, and could provide solutions for helping people who find it difficult to read, for example in conditions such as dyslexia.

Suicidal bacteria: Unicellular organisms occasionally poison themselves with a toxin Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:46 AM PDT The cyanobacterium Synechocystis produces toxins that often lead to its own demise. Biologists have now determined the logic governing this mechanism..

Inspired by deep sea sponges: Creating flexible minerals Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:45 AM PDT Scientists have imitated the skeleton of natural sea sponges to produce a new flexible mineral. the synthetic spicules are extremely flexible and are also able to transmit light waves even when they are bent.
